I don't know why I even opened Maru's jweb today. I don't normally read it, but since I did, I thought I'd share. His reason for posting late was cute. Too bad I can't figure out how to get the photo he linked to off of my phone... Jweb likes to lock their stuff. I know it's possible to get it onto a computer, but I don't know how. Sorry.

あれから一週間。It's been one week since that. あっという間の一週間。Gone, just like that. なんだか心にぽっかり穴が空いてしまったような一週間。A week where it felt like there was a gaping hole in my heart.

去年の11月から始まった僕らの旅は終わった。The journey that we started last November has ended. このアジアツアーを通していろんな学びや気づきがあった。There are a lot of things that I learned and came to realize during this Asia Tour.

他のなににも代え難い、コンサートでしか味わえないものがある。There's nothing that can replace that feeling that I get from doing concerts.

おこがましくて夢を与える仕事をしているなんて思ったことはない

けれど、みんなと一緒に無限大の可能性を感じながら、叶えるための夢 を見ることができる仕事ではあると思う。 I never dreamed I'd have such a liberating job.But, while feeling the limitless possibilities with everyone, I think I have a job where I can see dreams come true.

まだまだ書きたいことはあるんだけど、なんだか今日はまとまらないからまた今度。There are things that I still want to write, but I can't quite focus today, so next time.

本日も快晴!!まるで真夏のうだるような暑さ。It's clear weather again today!! And boiling hot as if it were in the middle of summer. そんな今日は、That kind of day is, ☆Happy Mother's Day♪☆

自分をこの世に生んでくれた母親に感謝する日!!It's the day that you can show gratitude to the mother that gave birth to you!! 最近、お母さんに会えてない人は、To those of you who haven't been able to see your mother lately,

電話だけでもいいから恥ずかしがらずに日頃の感謝をちゃんと伝えてあげてね。don't worry about being embarrassed and tell your mother how much you appreciate her, even if just by phone. 声が聞けただけで、きっとお母さん喜んでくれます。I'm sure your mother'll be happy just to hear your voice.

Just a quick translation for now. I'll come back to fix the wording later tonight. I think this is the best I can currently do.

For those of you who don't follow V6, Miyake Ken's mother has passed away a few days after Yokoyama Yu's. The funeral was rumored to have been on the 24th. Ken was raised in a single parent household and has 1 younger brother. He talked about her a lot.

やっぱりその立場になってみないと見えてこないもの、わからないものがある。Or think that you don't really need to see yourself in anothers shoes, there are things that you don't know.

僕は両方を経験してみてわかった。I have come to experience both of these.

人は来るべき時が来て、People's time to will come, その時初めてその痛みを知る。And at that time, you will feel that pain for the first time.

自分を大切にする人が、A person that treasures themselves 人も大切にできる。 can treasure other people too.

毎日、空を見てる。Everyday, I look towards the sky. どんな空も綺麗で、僕は空に抱かれて生きている。I will live being enveloped by the sky, and no matter what, that sky is beautiful. 今日も、明日も、これからもずっと。Today, tomorrow, and from here on out, forever.

どうも横山裕ですけども Hey, Yokoyama Yuu here. 今日は、愛媛でライブだ。 Today is the live in Ehime.

いつも心の中に。In my heart always.

俺はいつまでも、これからも子供。 I always have and will be a child. いつまでも、これからも長男。 I always have and will the the eldest son. 頑張るを頑張る。I will work hard to do my best.

俺には、仲間がいる。I have friends/comrades with me. 支えてくれるスタッフさんがいる。I have staff members who are supporting me. 友達がいる。I have friends. 弟がいる。I have my brothers. 応援してくれるファンの皆さんがいる。 I have fans that cheer me on. じいちゃん、ばあちゃんもずっといる。Grandpa, Grandma too, are with me always. そして、あなたも。And you, too.

なんだってできる。I can do anything. なんだってやってやる。I will do anything. ちゃんと見ててや。Just you watch.

Here's Shige's jweb entry from yesterday. He talks about how it came to be that he and Koyama showed up at the evening Tegomass concert on Wednesday.

I'll maybe try to translate this tomorrow (at some point between cleaning and tutoring). So seriously... what is wrong with my luck when it comes to special guests? For the EbiKisu concerts, I went to 3 out of 5 of the Yokohama Arena ones and the 2 I didn't go to had all the guests. Both NEWS concerts I was at had no guests. Although I did get Yasu and Higashiyama before... but still! It was KoyaShige... at a Tegomass concert... and it was in Osaka. (._. )
